Messianic Translator?
Written by alli
Did you know that when watching American television subtitled in Hebrew in Israel, when a character in frustration or anger shouts, “Jesus!”, the subtitle says Elohim?

Woohoo – Alli is back from her madricha gig in Israel with IsraelExperts and will now be gracing us with her blogging presence. Yay Allibaba!
Even better. I was watching Saturday Night Live with Snoop Dog last week. They translated Double Jizzle as “Jizzel Cafool” and I nearly lost my shit……
Yes, I remember noticing that on my last trip. I think the intent is to translate the feeling of it rather than translate it directly. I don’t know how one would translate “I’ve bent over backwards to provide for you…”
etc.
Anyway, Shana Tova to all, catch ya in 5765.
That seems really … not cool.
